Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
- 0.75 cup Buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 Large egg
- 1.5 cups Fresh strawberries (diced)
- 2 tablespoons Turbinado sugar (optional topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, buttermilk, vanilla extract, and the egg until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.
Fold in the diced fresh strawberries using a spatula, ensuring the fruit is evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Optionally, sprinkle a small pinch of turbinado sugar over the tops of the muffins for a sweet, crunchy topping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean and the tops are lightly golden brown.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy your melt-in-your-mouth strawberry muffins!
